Thanks for reply.  
But now I have message: "coordinates cannot be specified as objects"

I tried:  
{  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][type]", "linestring" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][0]", "[-87.623177, 41.881832]" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][1]", "[-87.623177, 41.881832]" ]

```
    convert => { "[geo_link][coordinates][0]" => "float" }
    convert => { "[geo_link][coordinates][1]" => "float" }

```

}

I also tried:  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][type]", "linestring" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][0][lat]", " -87.623177" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][0][lon]", "41.881832" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][1][lat]", " -87.623177" ]  
add\_field =\> ["[geo\_link][coordinates][1][lon]", "41.881832" ]

but the same result.
